This article aims to present a literature review on drama/theatre performance in educational environments by applying digital technologies to increase students’ sustainability awareness.

This article analyzes how, Indocumentados...el otro merengue, by José Luis Ramos Escobar, captures the tensions that undergird Caribbean migratory flows alongside articulations of being.
